<H1>Useful Utility Tools for PLIB Applications.</H1>
|
|
This is a suite of tools that will hopefully prove useful for the
|
|
developers or users of PLIB-based applications. Currently, there is only one tool:
|
|
<H1>The "af2rgb" texture converter.</H1>
|
|
This portable utility converts textures, that is 2D bitmaps. It converts *.?af files as used with (old) Micro$oft
|
|
Flightsimulator into .rgb files that are understood by all plib versions. New plib versions can handle
|
|
*.?af textures, so this tool is only needed if you want to use the textures
|
|
with an old (for example 1.2.0) version of plib.
|
|
<BR><BR>
|
|
The usage is very simple:<BR>
|
|
Go into the path of the textures you want to convert and call af2rgb.
|
|
The program will handle all *.?af files in that path (and ignore all other files).
|
|
As a parameter, give it the path where the new textures shall be placed.
|
|
If you don't give it a path, then they will be written into the current dir.
|
|
The new filename is always lowercase, so that the case is defined for the Un*x crowd.
|
|
The first letter of the extension is added to the filename, so that it is unique.
|
|
For example, lets say you have navion.1af and Navion.2af in your path. Af2rgb will create files
|
|
called navion1.rgb and navion2.rgb.
